Leviticus 23 Seven Feasts Described
The Lord spoke to Moses, saying, “Speak to the people of Israel and say to them, These are the appointed feasts of the LORD that you shall proclaim as holy convocations; they are my appointed feasts.” Lev. 23:1
Depending on who you are reading there are a few meanings to the feast:
- Gratitude
- Rest
- Point to Jesus
- Remember God’s faithfulness in dark times
- Allow our lives to be interrupted
Liturgies are powerful opportunities for our minds and imaginations to be formed by the story of God in which we participate.(Bible project)
Questions to ask:
Do you rejoice before me?
Do you have appointed times of meeting with Me?
Savor Moment:
Host a dinner party and feast with friends as you rejoice over what the Lord is doing in your life
